Spurtcommerce - Server

You need to set up your development environment before you can do anything.

Install Node.js and NPM

• on OSX use homebrew brew install node
• on Windows use chocolatey choco install nodejs

Install npm globally

npm install npm -g

Install a MySQL database.

If you work with a mac, we recommend to use homebrew for the installation. Database file available under repository spurtcommerce.sql.

Fork or download this project. Configure your package.json for your new project.

Then copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env. In this file you have to add your database connection information.

Create a new database with the name you have in your .env-file.

.env file used for development process.. In the .env file, we used our localhost Mysql setup. Likewise, you can setup your own localhost MySQL connection string and also Application detail.

.env.production file used for production process. .env.staging file used for staging process.

Then setup your application environment.

npm run setup

This installs all dependencies with npm.

npm run dbseed

if it migratration completed properly and then seeds some test data into it. So after that your development environment is ready to use.

Go to the project dir and start your app with this npm script.

npm start serve

This starts a local server using nodemon, which will watch for any file changes and will restart the sever according to these changes. The server address will be displayed to you as http://0.0.0.0:3000.

All script are defined in the package-scripts.js file, but the most important ones are listed here.
